Chapter 693: The Truth
readx;
After a brief meal, at the invitation of the Fox priest, I came to her tent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the tent, apart from me and Fox, there was only one person, and it was a middle-aged woman from the dragon race. As before, she stood quietly behind the Fox Sacrifice, completely like a loyal and conscientious guard.
"Elder Long probably doesn't know each other yet! This is the patriarch's wife of the Ghost Jiao Clan, Miyana Poison Dragon, who is temporarily serving as the leader of my guard because of some connections. Fox said with a smile. "There are some things that I, an outsider, can't believe after all, maybe Elder Long will trust her story a little more. I'll be outside, and I'll just wait for Elder Long to finish talking to Miyana before he can greet me. Without waiting for my answer, he turned around and walked away.
I was slightly anxious, and then I realized that what Miyana and I were talking about was naturally the internal affairs of the dragon clan, and it was really inconvenient for her to know. However, if she did it to Philia and them now, it would be dangerous, although it might not be large. Fortunately, as soon as I swept my senses, I already noticed that she was strolling leisurely outside the tent, and I was relieved.
"Miyana has seen Elder Long Gutian, because she has a mission, so she has not greeted you, and I ask the elder not to be surprised. Miyana Poison Dragon said with a respectful expression.
"The dragon clan doesn't have so much courtesy!" I waved my hand, I had guessed in advance that her status was not low, and the patriarch's wife was not surprised, and Zhengse said: "You said that there is a task, what is the task?"
"To talk about this task, we have to start with the two major differences within the clan. Seeing that my expression was calm, Miyana relaxed a little. Although her strength is close to that of some adult lower-rank dragons, and she is also qualified to practice on Dragon Island, the difference in her natural bloodline makes her a little afraid of me. Just from the Kalie patriarch's sentence that the poisonous dragon tribe can be disposed of with me, you can understand the mystery.
"The two major differences within the clan?" I was slightly surprised, how can I say that I have lived on Dragon Island for a few years, why don't I know?
"Yes, two great divisions within the clan. Miyana said: "Since nearly 10,000 years ago, the noble dragon of pure bloodline was forced to move away from the mainland and move to the overseas dragon island, the dragon clan that has always been united has gradually become divided. ”
"So you were talking about the two differences between insisting on staying overseas and asking to return to the mainland. I suddenly said, "I've heard a little bit about that." ”
"Exactly. Miyana was slightly surprised, and nodded: "Actually, even those dragons who insist on returning to the continent, no one wants to dominate the continent, or anything else, their request is just to open up a quiet paradise on the continent that is not disturbed by the human race." In the past 10,000 years, the two sides can be said to have held their own views and argued, and there has been no final conclusion until now. Because the Dragon Emperor has always insisted on living in seclusion overseas, those powerful dragons have always been reluctant to do so, but they can only live in silent seclusion. It wasn't until a hundred years ago that things took a turn for the better. ”
"Turnaround, what turnaround?" I thought.
"What the hell is the turning point, we peripheral vassals don't know, it should be the Dragon Emperor who acquiesced to our actions, right? From that moment on, the Elder Paimo Di who led us finally took action and arranged for us to operate on the mainland. Originally, we planned to secretly absorb the followers like the Light God Clan or the Demon Clan, so as to develop an organization that could compete with the Light Holy See and the Dark Council. Unfortunately, because of the difference in appearance, it is difficult for us to gain the trust of the human race, and the development of the church is very slow, and in the end, because of the lack of secrecy, the forces that have been cultivated in waste for decades have been swept away by the Holy See of Light. With a faint sigh, Miyana said sadly. "Even our people have lost most of their lives. ”
I smiled bitterly and was speechless, the dragon clan has always been arrogant, neither has the holy aura like the Light God Clan, nor does it have the demagogic ability of the Dark Council, and it is naturally difficult to develop believers in the human race. Not as secretive and low-key as the Dark Council, it is not surprising that it will be purged by the Holy See. "And then?"
"After the defeat of the Terrans, we decided to change our way of doing things and instead wanted to gain dominance over parts of the region. Therefore, he has let his clansmen sacrifice part of their strength three times and permanently use the dragon transformation technique to blend into the human race. Miyana was slightly embarrassed and said in a low voice.
I snorted, the dragons have never allowed interference in the internal affairs of the human race, and with their intentions, it is estimated that they want to control a certain empire. This point, in fact, has violated the ban of the dragon clan, and it is no wonder that she is a little afraid to say it. "It turned out that the Orc Empire was easier to succeed than the Terran Continent, so it was transferred to the Orc Continent?"
"Not really. Miyana hurriedly shook her head and said, "The reason why we went to the Orc Continent is because Elder Paimo Di gave us an order to cooperate with some powerful figures in the Orc Empire, hoping to obtain the territory and rights we need through a war between the Orc Empire and the Terran Alliance." After a pause, she explained, "Elder Long may not know that the place where we used to live was in the Idagar Mountains, and almost every day we had to face the test of high-level demonic beasts and even the harsh environment. Therefore, a stable and undisturbed territory is too important for our people. ”
"That's all you know?" she said, undoubtedly a little bit of what I expected. According to what she said, although their dragon tribe violated the dragon clan's ban a little, it was only forced by the environment, and the root cause of everything had to be counted on Elder Pai Mo Di.
"Even though I'm the deputy leader of the tribe, that's really all I know. Even my husband can know about the same as I do. There are many things, if Elder Long really wants to know, he still has to ask Elder Mo Di of the sect. Miyana said bitterly.
"Since that's the case, let's wait until I know the truth of the matter from Elder Paimo Di!" After a moment of silence, I said calmly, "However, if you have anything to hide or deceive, then I will immediately start a cleansing operation against your clan." I think you should know by now that the Patriarch gave me the authority to dispose of your tribe before I set out. ”
"The villain doesn't dare. Miyana's body shook violently, and she bowed her head respectfully, as a subsidiary dragon clan, she couldn't stand the pressure of the dragon power on me.
"You go out first, help me get the Fox Priest in. I nodded coldly and snorted.
"Yes!" Miyana nodded solemnly, bowed respectfully to me, and turned to walk backwards. Although the last words were fierce, she understood that I was really merciful. Otherwise, it would be enough for her and her people to violate the dragon's ban and interfere in the Terran strife to start a killing. And from the perspective of the dragon power shown, there is no doubt that I also have this strength.
Watching her leave, I couldn't help but feel a little confused. If she wants to say that her words are secretly in line with the dragon man she met earlier, it seems unlikely to be fake. Although the dragon clan doesn't think much of the beast clan, it is not strange that the dragon god and the beast god have joined forces to fight against the attacks of the gods and demons. It's just that, since everything is reasonable, what is the purpose of Patriarch Kalie asking me to come to the Orc Continent? Without his permission, Elder Pai Mo Di has the courage to do it like this, right?
Thinking about what Patriarch Kali said to me before leaving Dragon Island, I couldn't help but sigh, in fact, Patriarch Kali made it very clear to me from the beginning, and this time there was no need to deal with anything at all. Now it seems that I really have to do that.
Thinking of the scene when I was on the island, I couldn't help but think of Princess Kaxin's appearance in the past, and then it suddenly dawned on me that Shadow Beamon's ability, in addition to talent and smoke control, should also have the ability to change her face at will. You must know that her appearance at the beginning was completely a golden Beamon.
The sound of slight footsteps sounded, and the cold voice of the Fox priest was heard. "Is there something you can't figure out?"
"Yes, I was trying to ask the priest for advice. I snorted and said, "Since it is a cooperation between the orcs and the dragons, why did the beast emperor Kao leave the orc empire with his most valued prince and abscond to the human continent?"
"That's just because, it's not just you dragons who have differences, even the orc empire has divisions between radical and conservative. The Fox Priest said indifferently: "Although the Kao Beast Emperor is a good emperor, he is not interested in attacking the human race. In desperation, we can only weaken his power first, and then put him under house arrest. He didn't want to come but provoked him to be disheartened, and finally took Prince Lai to retreat to the mountains and forests. ”
I couldn't have imagined that things were so unexpected, and the powerful and iron-blooded Beast Emperor didn't want to start a war with the Terrans? No, I was suddenly alert and said coldly: "As far as I know, the Kao Beast Emperor has succeeded to the throne for more than ten years, and in the past ten years, the Orc Empire has attacked Date and Xiongguan more than three times, isn't this also the original intention of the Kao Beast Emperor?"
"The war of the orcs against Date and Xiongguan can be divided into two kinds, one is false and the other is true. "Fox sacrificed calmly.
"What's the difference?" I was curious, there was still a fake war?
"Absolutely. The purpose of the fake war is to plunder food and relieve the population pressure of the empire, at the expense of low-level orcs who have little strength. A real war is a war in the true sense of the word, and the purpose is to invade the territory of the human race. Once this kind of war begins, it will be on a grand scale, and in addition to the elites who cannot be replenished in a short time, there will also be a large number of masters. ”
"Plunder the food, alleviate the population," I said hesitantly. “... Stress?"
"Yes, orcs are different from humans, normal humans, it takes twenty years from birth to adulthood, while some races of orcs, such as pigs or wolves, only need ten years to reach adulthood. If there had been no war, the population of the empire would have nearly doubled in just three or five years. With the barren soil of the current empire, it is simply impossible to feed such a large population. Therefore, the wars that are waged every once in a while are actually largely due to the consumption of part of the population. "Fox said calmly, but I seemed to feel a bit of deep sadness and helplessness.
I was silent, thinking about the barren villages I saw along the way, and she was not true at all. It's no wonder that even though Date and Xiongguan are as stable as a mountain, the orcs always start a war every few years. It turned out that their real purpose was not to capture Xiongguan at all, but to consume their huge population before Xiongguan.
"The real war, the empire has not been waged for almost a hundred years. Otherwise, do you think that Date and Xiongguan can really withstand the tens of millions of troops of the Empire?"
I was dumbfounded, orcs can really live, it seems that there are only tens of thousands of people who arrived on this continent alive ten thousand years ago, and I can't imagine that there are tens of millions of troops now, an army of this size, I am afraid that it will be mobilized by the combination of several major empires of the human race.
"Is the Kao Beast Emperor still alive?" I said in a deep voice. Escorting Princess Ka Xin and Xiao Lai back to the Beast Emperor was also one of my tasks. Perhaps, it is already the only task of my trip to the Orc Empire.
"Of course. Fox priest said calmly: "After all, he is an outstanding beast emperor, and all his actions are also for the sake of his clan, so we will not hurt his surname." If Princess Kaxin hadn't escaped with Prince Lai, they wouldn't have suffered so much. The poison of the dragon is not something that everyone can bear. If you want to blame, you can only blame her for not having the right to participate in the military affairs of the empire at all!"
I nodded silently, and after a long time, Princess Ka Xin fled to the Terran Continent after a lot of hardships, but it was a misunderstanding. Thinking about her weakness and hardship at the beginning, I can't help but feel a little pity.
"Now, Elder Long should understand that the matter of the Ghost Jiao Clan is not a betrayal as you imagined, but a cooperation between them and the Empire. I don't know, what are your plans?" said Fox Priest leisurely.
"What do I need to do?" I laughed and said lightly, "The task given to me by the patriarch is to send Princess Kaxin and Xiao Lai back to the Orc Empire, where do I need to deal with other things, an honorary elder?"
The Fox Priest frowned slightly, his eyes unexpectedly showed a little frustration, and he frowned: "Isn't it your mission to deal with the affairs of the Ghost Jiao Clan?"
"Yes and no!" sighed, I was in a good mood, the dragon people are also subordinate to the dragon race, and it is of course a good thing that it can be resolved peacefully. Her frustration, I naturally understand what is going on, her strength has reached the point where she can unconsciously affect the minds and judgments of others. Unfortunately, she couldn't grasp my mind from the beginning.
